Thanksgiving Table

First, thank you to everyone who inspired this design! I made this cake for my husband's "Day or Perpetual Eating" at work. :) Carved 15x11, covered in MMF, with fondant details.

Unbelievable! My 6 year old son just walked in and said "oh, that's cute" I love all the little details...the peas are too cute!

This is the best one of these types of cakes I've seen! The details are fabulous and the candles add the perfect final touch!

I actually have tears in my eyes, this cake is so great! I'm not a fondant fan, but this is incredible. There's not enough space in here for me to tell you how incredible I think this is. Duff should just hang it up right now...Danielle has arrived!

Thank you for the compliments! I hope you guys can use it and make it even better! I should have added wine, a pie, and corn... :(

Oh my god, this is incredible. Love the details. What did you use on the turkey to make it look so real? I made a fall cake covered with leaves and turkey in the center but mine isn't as pretty as yours. Have trying to upload it to the site but keep getting an error message which you could see it would love your comments

MARIATAMIA - Thank you, and I hope you get your uploaded - I'd love to see it! (Maybe the file is just too big? :? ) I just used light brown fondant for the turkey, and then painted it with about three coats of watered down brown piping gel. I did the same for the gravy and bread, but I smeared a tiny tiny bit of dark brown fondant over the bread first, and painted it with only one coat.
